Just a few words: I well know that the genuine Informavores have missed this newsletter, however I had traveled and been without Web connection from Sept.20 early morning till Sept 24 noon. I had to process 638 messages.

Planning and organizing research is an important part ofthe Management ofTechnology. Obviously, there can be surprises (statistically 80% bad and 20% good- Pareto is ubiquitous) but too many changes are confusing and destructive.

NOTE: The next issue of this newsletter will be published with some delay because the next week I will travel for scientific problems and tourism. Thank you for your understanding, the real informavore is always hungry and interested in the progress of the world. Please read all the issues of this newsletter. A rivederci!
